I, rox, do not own YuGiOh or Forever by Plus One. *sobs uncontrollably*
All: *sweatdrop*
~Chapter 6~
Yugi sighed, trying to place another piece into his puzzle. He had been trying to finish the puzzle for hours, ever since he had gotten home. He hadn't even bothered to patch up his shoulder or eat. All that mattered was Yami, Yami needed to be freed. He needed to be freed from darkness. He needed his light. Yugi knew this.
Nothing else mattered. Not his wounds, nothing. He HAD to free him! After all Yami had done for him...
*click*
'Finally, another piece. Hang on Yami'
/_\
Yami waited. He could feel Yugi putting the puzzle together. Yugi was completing it. He shivered from the cold in his prison. 'Aibou, please hurry' It was so cold and cold and dark and pitch black. He had been trapped for three millenniums, and that had been quite enough.
He had been terrified when the puzzle was shattered. He was back in the darkness. Not only that, but he couldn't feel Yugi at all. He didn't even know if Yugi was alive. But now, piece-by-piece, the puzzle was coming together.
~I lost you in darkness
~When I fell form the light
Yugi sighed, his shoulder was hurting more, and his stomach was complaining about the lack of food. He hadn't eaten since the morning, and it was already nighttime. He smiled faintly when another piece fit into the puzzle. He WOULD solve it. He HAD to. 'Yami...'
"Yugi? I'm leaving for the gamming convention, okay? I should be back by nine at the latest!"
"Okay grandpa!" Yugi called. He was glad that he had been able to sneak in with out his grandfather noticing that he had been shot in the shoulder with an arrow. THAT would not have gone over to well. 'Just a few more pieces. Almost there.'
*click*
'Hang on Yami...hang on...'
~I held on to the world too tight
Yami looked around, his soul room was no longer as dark and cold. He could feel Yugi, feel his light. Piece by piece, it was almost complete. There was only one more piece. 'Aibou' The last piece went in. Yami smiled and summoned himself out of the puzzle.
~I thought I'd never find you
"The last piece." Yugi whispered. He was feeling dizzy, he was so tired. He placed the piece into the puzzle.
As soon as he had done that, the room began to spin. Then all went black.
~Thought I'd be alone
Seto and Mokuba were relaxing, and Joey was sitting on their VERY expensive couch looking down at his feet.
"Hey, pup, you going to go home?" Home, Joey frowned slightly. Yea, that sounded like a whole lot of fun...
'Yea, lets go home and play keep-away-from-the-drunken-father, or maybe if we're luck, we could even play dodge-the-empty-broken-beer-bottle.' Joey sighed. Seto looked up and say that Joey was frowning.
"You could always stay here tonight." He added. He saw Joey smile.
"Really? You'd let me?" Joey almost yelled. He whopped when Seto nodded, then hugged the CEO.
"On one condition pup." He almost smiled at Joey's confused look. "You don't do that anymore." He smirked at Joey's sheepish look. "I'll show you where you'll be sleeping."
~But you took my hand and led me home
Ryou walked home. He was staring blankly ahead, and two tears where crawling down his face. He didn't even seem to notice. 'Bakura...'
~Now I know
Bakura watched Ryou, unseen, unnoticed, not even really there. He had been banished, but knowing as much as he did of the realm of shadows he was able to watch Ryou. At first it had been to plot revenge, but now...he wasn't sure.
~I know that
~You'll always be
Ryou entered the darkened kitchen. His father wouldn't be home for another few months. He placed his head in his arms and sobbed. "Why? Why did you force me to hurt you Bakura? I never wanted to! WHY!?! I just couldn't have you hurt anyone else. " Ryou whispered. Bakura frowned. Ryou hadn't done that because he wanted to? He had done it just because Bakura was going to hurt the pharaoh's brat?
~Where I go
Bakura looked sadly at Ryou. 'If only I could be there. If only I could be someone else. I just realized how much he means to me. He helped me, constantly. Not like I'll be forming any alliances wit the pharaoh or anything. And this DOES NOT mean I have changed...' Bakura concentrated and probed the Millennium Ring. He felt a pulling sensation and was sucked in. He panted from the effort.
~Forever is a long time
'That was harder than I though. He poked the link and found that Ryou had fallen asleep. 'We'll have to talk tomorrow. Sleep DOES sound good. But, Ryou, Just because I am back does not mean I will not go after the items...' Bakura nodded, after reassuring himself that he was not going soft, and fell asleep.
~To be without you in my life
~I wanna keep you by my side
Seto looked over at Joey, who was staring at the large room. He smiled as Joey turned around, looking at everything. He frowned slightly when he saw a bruise on Joey's arm. He was about to comment on it when he noticed that Joey had covered it quickly. Seto decided to ask later.
~'Cuz forever is a long time
Mokuba smiled as his older brother and new friend came down for a late dinner.
"PIZZA!!!!" Joey yelled, diving towards the box. Mokuba and Seto both laughed at the way Joey was trying to eat the box. When Joey finally had his peace, Seto gave him a napkin. Written on it was 'Joey, I saw the bruise. If you are some problems at home you are welcome to stay here as long as you want. -Seto"
Joey looked up and caught Seto's eye and nodded slightly. Seto smiled a bit.
~You have faith when I am faithless
~Strength when I don't
Yami looked down and saw Yugi, seemingly asleep. He gasped when he saw Yugi's shoulder in such bad condition. He quickly found a first aid kit and cleaned Yugi's wound. He felt terrible, Yugi had gotten hurt because of him. If he had protected Yugi like he had promised none of this would have happened. He felt something wet sliding down his cheek. He whipped it away. He was crying.
He had finished bandaging Yugi and was putting everything away when he heard a pain filled moan.
~You believe in me even when I won't
~You are patient, you are true
"Aibou? How do you feel?" Yugi looked up and saw Yami. His eyes filled with tears/
"YAMI! I'm so sorry! I let him get the puzzle! I'm sorry! So sorry! It's all my fault! Why, why couldn't I be stronger? WHY? I'm so sorry Yami." Yami smiled sadly as he rubbed his hikari's back.
~Your love is what keeps me through
~Now I know
"Yami, never leave me! I almost couldn't stand it this time!" Yugi sobbed, clutching Yami's jacket. Yami smiled softly. He never wanted to leave again, and never would if he had the choice.
~I know that
~You'll always be
~Where I go
"Aibou, I will try to never leave, but if we are ever separated like this again, remember that I am ALWAYS with you, if not in body than in spirit. You mean everything to me my light." Yugi smiled and nodded, he knew, he just needed to hear it.
~Forever is a long time
~To be without you in my life
~I wanna keep you by my side
~'Cuz forever is a long time
Ryou woke up, still drained. He slowly walked up the stairs, feeling terrible about the things that had happened. Whether he had meant top or not, Bakura had helped Ryou. Ryou had always been scared and weak, but Bakura had changed that. Ryou had begun to care for the ancient tomb robber, even if he was cruel, and he believed that Bakura had begun to care for him.
He had entered his room and flopped on his bed when he thought he felt something.
Something familiar.
~Even when I'm pullin' apart at the seams
~And its hard to believe
~Even in my darkest hour, my darkest day
~You shine on me
"Aibou, do you know how horrible it was to be separated from you? I hated it! My light wasn't there to protect me...you chase away my shadows, you protect me from the darkness, you have saved me." Yami smiled faintly. "It wasn't your fault aibou, never."
~Forever is a long time
~To be without you in my life
"Bakura?" Ryou whispered. It couldn't be! Bakura was killed. Ryou had killed him. When Ryou didn't hear anything he broke down. "I'm so sorry Bakura. I miss you. You might have hurt me, but I would rather be hurt buy you than be all alone. Why did you do it? I HATE it! Why couldn't you have been caring...why...Bakura...why?"
~I wanna keep you by my side
~'Cuz forever is a long time
"Ryou?" Ryou looked up and saw Bakura...sort of. He seemed rather...transparent. "Ryou, I'm sorry for how I treated you." Ryou smiled a bit. "I can only appear in a spirit form for a while. But Ry, just because I'm being nice to you doesn't mean I have given up on killing the pharaoh or taking over the world." Ryou nodded, smiling.
~It's a long long time
~Forever is a long time
~To be without you in my life
Yami smiled at Yugi, who had fallen asleep again. Yugi had gone through so much, and they had almost been separated forever. Yami smiled as he watched Yugi sleep peacefully. Yami was starting to feel tired himself. He lie down on the bed as well and finally fell asleep. Soon the only sounds were the two's breathing, which could barley be heard. The whole house was quiet, as if allowing the two to sleep undisturbed.
~I need you in my life
~I wanna keep you by my side
~'Cuz forever is a long time
~It's a long long time
The clock struck nine, a small chime was heard, then silence.
~Forever
